concubine daughter

Chapter 26 Rescue
Jun Xi retorted again: "I was wronged. When I sent out the cinnamon sticks, I tested the poison with a silver needle, and also tested the poison with a maidservant. If there are oleander and musk, how can I not test it? As for I don't know about the musk in my room."

Qingyi argued tirelessly: "When the maidservant sent Guizhi to Huanbiju, Madam Chongyi also tested for poison and tasted it, and there was nothing wrong with it."

The emperor was furious, and went up against the case, "You mean that Chongyi self-destructed the child?"

"The emperor is angry." Man Qing put down the jade spoon, "Listen to my concubine's words, the oleander and musk were not placed in the cinnamon sticks, but on the jade spoon. The powder of oleander is still in it, please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

Man Qing thought something was wrong, the emperor didn't seem to have anyone come to inspect the jade spoon, it can be seen that the emperor is deliberately covering Concubine Shu, if she exposes this matter, she is afraid that she will lose herself.

"In your opinion, who tampered with the jade spoon?" The emperor's tone was so solemn that it made people feel depressing, which made the atmosphere of the whole Chaoqing Hall a little heavy.

Man Qing quickly recalled the cause and effect of this matter in her mind, "I think Qing Yi is the most suspicious. This matter has been controlled by Qing Yi from the beginning to the end, and she has the best chance to poison..." Man Qing's eyes fell on Qing Yi On his body, he deliberately winked at Qing Yi, "Qing Yi, for your master's sake, let's tell the truth."

Qingyi's eyes were instantly moist, and her heart felt like being hit by a heavy stone. She didn't expect that she would become the scapegoat in the end. "It was made by the maidservant, and it's none of anyone's business. The musk in Yuanliuju was also buried in the soil of the vase by the maidservant. I adore the second master, and I don't want the second grandma to be happy, so I put the musk in it." Qingyi said Very unfounded.

"Then why do you want to kill Chong Yi?" The emperor looked serious.

"Because the servant's words offended Chongyi, I was afraid that after Chongyi gave birth to the prince, he would retaliate against the servant."

The emperor seemed to be convinced, it seemed that he was really covering up Concubine Shu, and shouted pretending to be annoyed, "Come here, put this lowly maidservant to death!"

Man Qing closed her eyes uneasily, not wanting to see the innocent and disgusted expression on Qing Yi's face.

The case ended like this, Man Qing and Jun Xi walked out of the Chaoqing Hall together, the general seemed to have left, Yun Zhi was still guarding the door, and when she saw Man Qing coming out, she immediately went to help her.

Qing Yi has been Ling Chi, Jun Xi naturally has less people to support her, so she can only walk shabbyly alone.

The three of them were sent out of the palace, and outside the palace were various prince's mansions, so the road was relatively quiet.

"Why save me?" Jun Xi's tone was not subdued at all, and there was even a trace of reproach, as if asking Man Qing: Why should I save you?
Man Qing did not answer Jun Xi, but changed the subject and asked Yu Jun Xi, "Did you buy the obsessive thing in Hongzhen wine? For my sake of saving you, I hope you can answer me frankly." .”

Speaking of this, Jun Xi couldn't help sneering, his face full of helplessness and absurdity, "How dare you save me just to ask this? That's right, I did it, so what?"

"Why did you come down? What's the purpose?" Man Qing stared at Jun Xi's face, full of doubts. She really couldn't think of Jun Xi's purpose, so she had to use this to ask.

"I don't need a purpose in doing things, as long as it makes you confused and makes you sad. It seems that the third grandma thinks things are too complicated, and she got herself involved in it."

Jun Xi smiled lightly, looked at Man Qing, and saw that Man Qing’s expression remained the same, unknowingly showing a gloomy expression, “If you eat too much of the obsessive thing, it can also lead to death, and if you put it in the wine, even if there is any leftover, it will cause death.” Evaporating with the remaining wine, it is difficult for people to find out that the problem is the wine, and naturally it is difficult to find out about me. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"What's the point of you killing Hongzhen? Will Hongjie regain the throne?" A trace of hatred flickered in Man Qing's eyes, because her obsession made Man Qing feel the pain of life.

Before Man Qing finished speaking, Jun Xi took up the words, and his mood became very perverse. "I didn't expect that sick man to stop drinking because of your repulsive words, hum! It's ridiculous, what are you? He obviously likes me, just like the second master likes you. The second master has never changed his mind." , he has changed, am I just so annoying?"

Jun Xi grabbed Man Qing's arm hard, and it hurt Man Qing, "So! I will torture you and kill you. If I kill him, the second master will value me; if I kill you, the second master will have nothing to worry about. will fall in love with me."

Man Qing's calm expression became a little astonished. Jun Xi just said that both Hong Jie and Hong Zhen liked her. Did she hear wrong?If this is the case, wouldn't she have wrongly blamed Hongzhen?

"You're crazy." Man Qing came out lightly, staring at Jun Xi coldly.

Jun Xi snorted coldly, and walked away quickly, ignoring Man Qing.

Back at Liuxiangyuan, Manqing went to Gao Hongju first, but was blocked by Jinxuan, just like Yunzhi blocked Hongzhen at that time.

"Grandma, I don't see you at all, especially you." Jinxuan said while lowering his head, as if he was afraid that Manqing would scold him.

"Not seen?" Man Qing asked lightly, seeing Jin Xuan nodding, she said coldly, "Forget it." After finishing speaking, she turned and left, only to hear a deliberate cough in the room, "Jin Xuan, look If she wants to come in so much, let her in."

Man Qing smiled, although her heart was sweet, but she didn't show it, she thought: "This Hong Zhen is really childish." Man Qing was ushered into the room, and saw Hong Zhen lying on the bed, Wen Chen was taking care of her. As soon as Man Qing came, she backed out.

"Master, what's the matter?" Man Qing couldn't hide her sneer, she approached Hong Zhen step by step, sat on the edge of the bed, as if holding Hong Zhen's hand affectionately.

"Sudden illness..." Hongzhen sighed pretendingly, and put on a calm look, but in fact, his heart blossomed with joy, thinking to himself, "This is the first time I saw her take the initiative, it must be my prayer that moved the heavens and the earth. Give me an obedient lady."

Hongzhen was enjoying himself in his fantasy, when suddenly, Manqing's smile changed and became extremely gentle, "The pulse condition is steady and strong, and my master is in good health." What?It turned out to be feeling the pulse!
"Really?" Hong Zhen's face sank, and the beautiful fantasy just now was shattered, "Probably because of taking the medicine, I'm sorry to bother you, but I came here to check the pulse."
